FOR THE ROCK GARDEN 
Of the more desirable and delightful rock garden 
perennials', there are many, very many, that grow with 
the greatest of readiness from seeds sown in open 
ground bds during October, November and even De¬ 
cember, germination, of course, coming in spring. Some 
of these kinds have been considered difficult from seed, 
but that has? been due to attempts at spring sowing of 
them, or to sowing them under glass. Those listed here 
need cold, not heat, to put their seeds in shape to start. 
Sow them now, for next spring’s plants.
